In the 90s, techno was the blanket label. Now it's EDM. Like how to my mum all video game consoles are Nintendos.

People using hardcore or rave to mean multiple genres and lumping happy fucking hardcore with breakbeat.. still gets to me.

I'm replaying it too but started a fresh character, strength and faith based but all that faith will turn me into a serpent god when I kill Rykard and use his sword.

Big worm was very good.

I literally just got out of the cinema so could write something better later but I could easily see Dune as being my favorite blockbuster movie franchise of all time, hopefully the first one making a good chunk of change wasn't just a post Covid fluke.

I kinda wish Richard made more dumb music, his Pacman joke single is actually really good.

Everyone who makes IDM fucking hates IDM, too.

Pretty sure both Aphex and Squarepusher have been very vocal about the term.

Calling Mr Hughes a worker is a bit of a stretch.

On topic and NWC related, I need to see this match so badly.

No idea this happened and it’s such a random as fuck match but trust Terry Funk to bring a completely different side out of Virgil.

 

NWC was a true money mark company, there's lots of gold to be found there with former WWF guys, fake Doinks and hardcore stuff from Cactus and Sabu. They even managed to get Ultimate Warrior to recreate the match with Honky.

That has to be my Dad.

"Is Jake The Snake Richards still about? Hulk and Animal?"

It might just be.

I feel like this kinda fits the thread.

So the John Tenta episode sounds like it's going to be less dark side and more about how lovely he was, Haku is also in it!

There's now a side podcast with the lapsed fan pair, less impressions, too.

But there's like four meat men in that scramble picture alone?

Hook should be an honorary meat man, like a more serious Crash Holly where he actually keeps up with all the big lads and is suplexing them over the place.

Jesus Christ, the only way it could get more 2002 would be if they added American Head Charge

Elsewhere, here’s Roadburn 2024

 

Supersonic announced their first lot of bands, too. I'll be going whichever day the body and Dis Fig play.

I'm always reminded of this truly awful angle when his name pops up, Virgil vs Jim The Klanvil.

That's shit, he'd been pretty ill for a while now after two strokes and wasn't he suffering from dementia?

But yeah, seeing him finally stand up to Noel Edmunds was a big thing and it's sad that he couldn't ever truly capitalise on that.

The curse of A24, although it's not just them it feels like every one of their films are a year late.

Been waiting for this since the rave Sundance reviews.

This new Ghostbusters film looks a bit shit. The fact they are titling them all like they are In Your House pay-per-views isnt encouraging him, but it just looks like Doctor Who wink wink shite to the camera. Actually preferred the 2016 one to the new one. At least it didnt have Harold Ramis coming back as a mute ghost.

The last one was possibly the worst bit of nostalgia bait ever recorded, fucking awful stuff.

I was only just listening to the Scotty episode of How2Wrestling (very good pod btw, and Jo is my fav wrestling Twitter person).

One thing not really mentioned about that WWE run was that he was actually pretty damn over still during the Stacey and Test shit, that stuff is super fun lower card trash.

I never knew ECW worked with W*ING before they ever went Extreme, showing 10 minutes of highlights on TV before a few guys came over likely because of Doug Gilbert who was working with Eddie as The Dark Patriot at the time. He even donned the Freddy Krueger gear for one match on ECW TV.

Not only the coolest film I've seen this year so far but both the punk band and the duo here are ace.

Nick Kiniski has come forward with accounts of Terry Garvin constantly propositioning in return for being "made", telling Vince and nothing happening then being punished himself.

It's a story we've heard from others in that same period.

I'm sure it'll be good but I really have zero desire to see Cody vs The Rock. 

I have zero desire to see The Rock unless...

It was always weird how those that got shit on the most from WCW were the originals and not the lot that left WWF in the first place to help cause WCW to start winning.

I was always more of an arcade Shadow Dancer type, which I think is the same Shinobi lad? He just has a cool dog that helps attack people this time, it's a far goofier game too.
